The event will be the largest display of the quilt in San Francisco ever and the largest display of it anywhere since 2012 when it was on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Jada Harris National AIDS Memorial Call My Name Quilt Program Manager shares stories about two newly created panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. This summer, San Francisco will host the largest display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in a decade, organizers announced Tuesday morning from the quilt’s warehouse in San Leandro.
“Bring family, bring friends,” said AIDS Memorial CEO John Cunningham, who was a community organizer in San Francisco’s Castro District in the 1980s and ’90s. “Experience the largest community arts project on earth.” A traditional unfolding of the quilt will start at 9:30 a.m. June 11 and then the names of those lost will be read aloud over the two-day period.
Organizers want to eventually get to a place where zero new infections are occurring, Cunningham said. Gilead Sciences gave $2.4 million to the National AIDS Memorial in 2019 to move the quilt back to San Francisco from Atlanta.
